JK Rowling will never read Fifty Shades Of Grey

As JK Rowling reveals her fears for her new adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, she explains why she will NEVER read Fifty Shades Of Grey...

JK Rowling is gearing up for the release of her first adult novel 'The Casual Vacancy' and, despite the pressure to match the extraordinary success of her Harry Potter series, she seems ultra cool and collected about it all!

As she said to The Guardian: "The worst that can happen is that everyone says, 'Well, that was dreadful, she should have stuck to writing for kids' and I can take that."

"I'll put it out there, and if everyone says, 'Well, that's shockingly bad – back to wizards with you', then obviously I won't be throwing a party. But I will live. I will live."

The new book is set to hit stores on the 27th September - just enough time for us to finish mourning the Harry Potter series - and is set to reveal all about the class struggles of a small village during a local election. Described as "blackly comic" and promises paranoia, rage, tragedy and serious drama.
